Chapter 7
Cyberdramon and Izzy exchange daring looks, or Izzy did but know body knows what Cyberdramon's face looks like. Everyone was tense, even Kari and Rika. Suzie then says the magic word. "Go!"
They quickly turn to the TV screen and push the buttons on their controllers. Their characters throw their punches, kicks, and special moves. He watches as the battle to be number one plays out. Renamon had lost to Cyberdramon, so she has the title of third. Too soon Izzy pulls out all the stops and Cyberdramon loses.
"Grrrrrrr, rematch! I demand a REMATCH!" Cyberdramon snarls to Izzy. Izzy pales and shallows at the ultimate's tone of voice. Suzie says, "We'll have another tournament after supper." Many nods follow this, and finally Cyberdramon just nods in agreement.
Soon Rika turns off the PS2 and takes out Bloody Roar 4 and puts in Megaman. Izzy goes to check up on his laptop and everyone that's in the Dojo tries to help Rika with her game. Soon an hour has past and the sight seeing group finds everyone giving Rika advise on the game. He turns and waves at them. "Hey you guys! Izzy got first place! Cyberdramon second and Renamon third! We're having another tournament after supper, want to join?" They blink and they shrugged, they put their bags by the Dojo's door and then head to the house. He just watches them go, then returns to watching Rika blast bots on the screen.
---------------------------------
He was exhausted. He hadn't been able to get home until this very minute. The whole GL council and the other major higher ups were in a frenzy. He was in meetings his boss couldn't get to, for Prov was too busy in meeting with others of his rank and the GL. He had to tempary promoted Fenir and Dawn, a D'arcmon. Both were ones he knew he could count on. Even if Dawn wasn't a close friend.
So now he was finally at home. He undressed and had a well-dissevered shower and ate a full meal. Then he when to bed.
He dreams of his childhood on Raptor 2, there was only 6 realities named Raptor.
'+'
He's a Sil'Elfmon a rookie level Digimon. He's about four feet tall, human like with teal color skin and light green hair. His eyes were red. His long elf like ears and only had two earrings on his left ear. His vest and shorts were brown.
He was with his cousin Rain, a Wis'Elfmon a rookie level Digimon. She too is four feet tall, human like with green color skin and silver hair. Her eyes were green. She had long elf like ears and only her right ear had an earring in it. Her T-shirt and shorts were tan.
They raced through the forest tops. All the trees were connected with each other. So their kind made their homes on huge trees. Also there was always some trees flowering and baring fruit. So they didn't have to worry about starving or growing crops like the other villages outside the forest.
They moved with carefree strides as they ran. Soon they bother spotted a branch with a small flag on it. He speeds up to pass it before his cousin. Then she takes a leap and passes the flag before he did. "That's not fair! No leaping Rain!" She turns and smiles sweetly at him. "Well it got the job done, that's all that matters." "Then what's the point of having rules? Why follow them if the whole point is to just win! Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should." He says as he gets the flag off the branch.
"He's right Rain. If you don't go by some rules, then why have them?" Their great-grandfather seems to appear out of nowhere. He was a mega level Digimon called SpinBladeSithninmon. His brown eyes sparkle with amusement. She answers, "Rules are just there to have other's follow them. That's what I hear from others. The GL likes to make rules and have others follow them." Their great-grandfather just smiles at that. "A great deal of the GL follow the rules. But sometimes they must follow other things as well. You didn't follow anything, but your want to win the race, no matter the cost. You must remember that there is always a cost to everything. Even to the GL, they might yet have to pay for what they are doing. But they will, someplace somewhere they shall pay a great price. Until then they just add to the price. So try to find other things to follow then just rules." "Like belief? Or honor?" He asked. His great-grandfather nods. "You'll find something one day. Come it's lunch and you parents want you clean before you eat."
They follow their great-grandfather through the treetops, back to their village.

He was awakening by his alarm. He can't believe that morning came so soon. He gets up and has another shower and gets dressed. Grabbing something to eat as he walks back to the office, he thinks about what his great-grandfather had said about thirty years ago. About the price that the GL will pay for what they have gotten. He also remembers his own words, "Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should."
He smiles under his mask at that. His name at the time had been Blade Song, and his cousin's full name had been Rain Cry. They both had changed their names when they Digivolved into their champion forms. He becomes a Sil'Blademon and she a Wis'Singermon, a magic kind of fighter. Their line of Digimon was called Silth Wispers. The Sil are males and the Wis are females. He took the name Guyver and she took the name Fate Dancer, for Wis'Singermons were kind of rare.
He could help but wonder how she was doing. He hasn't heard from any of his family in over twenty years. He joined the ranks of the GL to travel to other realities. At that time only GL members could travel between realities. His family had wished him luck before he left. He also did find that his great-grandfather's word proved true, that's why he joined the Stalkers. He found that the GL seems to never stop invading other realities. They have thousands of realities under their rules and can't seem to stop.
He finds himself being let through without trouble. He sees Dawn before entering the main office. "Report." She nods and begins, "The front lines have found empty villages and cities as they go. They found railway track, meaning that there's trailmon Digimon lines there. It also means that they can move faster and farther. Also the information gather found that they don't have any real ruins around, so all the real information is somewhere else, most possible where the three rulers live. They have yet to fight any Digimon yesterday. We do know that a portal had been opened and something had come through. They found the spot with track around the arena. We think that this "Legendary Warriors" have whatever it was in their hands." He nods, "Thanks for the report, before I dismiss you could you tell me if Fenir around?" She nods, "He's in a meeting with so rich patrons, wanting to know what's going on, is that all?" He nods and they both head in opposite directions.
------------------------------
He knows it's Friday. He just hopes that wherever Davis and Takato are, they're all right. Last night Izzy won again. Cyberdramon was again in second place and Renamon was in third. Kari and Rika did pretty well, too. He had wish Davis was here see it. The guys with Ranma had gone to play pool, mostly just guy bonding without Izzy. So now it was the guys turn at using the TV and the girls turn to go out. The Digimon had decided to go to the park to play games. When they got there, the younger kids ended up joining in the games. Suzie had gone with Rika and Kari to the movies. He was really enjoying himself, plus he felt that wherever Davis was, he was in good hands.
-----------------------------
"I can't believe you took up that much blankets!" He says in an out raged tone. "You didn't need that many. Are just really cold or something?" He watches as his partner tries to untangle himself. "Could you not give me a speaking to until you help me?" He just sighs and helps out the Digimon out of the tangled mess he got himself in. "Did you just try fading out?" He stops and asks. KageVeemon sweat drops and says, "Good point. I'll try that." It works; he just couldn't help but shake his head. "I just don't see why you need all that many blankets. What were you trying to do, make a decoy and hide yourself somewhere to sleep? Come on! First you're better off using a pillow and then you wrap the pillow up in the blankets. You don't wrap yourself in them." He says as they leave the room. His partner just scowls at getting advice from his human partner, about how to fake a sleeping decoy.
"So, I'll do it your way, next time! Just stop with the long speech already!" They didn't say anymore as they head towards the kitchen. His new cloths would be ready after breakfast. He can't wait to try them on. Cassandra had promise that she'd stick to blues, for the most part. He might be getting some blacks to match KageVeemon. He didn't mind that, just hopes that there'd be no yellows or whites or pinks. He didn't mind darker colors; just those colors didn't look right on him.

'I can't believe he's even gave me advice on how to set up a decoy! Ok, I'll admit that I've never had to do something like that before, but come on! Why did he have to have an idea on what I was planning on doing? Besides, how does he know how to make sleeping decoys? I'll ask later.' On seeing breakfast he snapped out of his thoughts.
Soon they began to eat. After the table was clean, Cassandra gives Davis his new cloths. He notes that most were blue and black. "Thanks Cassandra! I'll be right back!" They watch him go change.
"I hope he likes them. So, Kage, how'd it go with the room sharing?" He looks at Cassandra and says in a huffy tone. "Fine." Dash and Cassandra look at him, wanting to know more. He sighs in defeat, "I got tangled up in my sheets and his advice was to fade into the shadows to get out. You happy now?" They try not to laugh.
Soon Davis returns wearing a tan T-shirt with the symbols of Light and Shadow on the front. He has a black vest and pants on. His new shoes are grey runners. Cassandra had used information about fashion of other human's realities to get the cloth and runners to look right.
"Looking good. Like the shirt." He says, and Dash says, "I like the symbols, a good touch. I think now would be a good time to talk about something that Cass and I have agreed on." "Like what?" His partner asks, he just knew that they were conferring what he told Davis days before. "You see, Dash and I are part of this group called the Stalkers. The goal of the Stalkers is to stop conquering other realities." Davis stops and says, "KageVeemon told me about the GL and the group. So, you've talked to them yet?" He smirks at the look on their faces. "Just how much has he told you?" "Just about the different fractions around here. That the Stalkers and the Gather of Life are the biggest and the most organized." He nods at what Davis had said. Feeling proud of his partner. He was getting the feeling that Davis was kind of new to the whole think before you talk thing, but he feels that Davis will get better as things continue.
To be continued …
